An airman deployed in support of Operational Inherent Resolve died Monday as a result of non-combat injuries. The airman, whose name was withheld pending next of kin notification, was assigned to the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing at an undisclosed base in Southwest Asia, according to Air Forces Central Command. No additional details about the airman’s death were released.
The new F-15E and F-15EX electronic warfare suite, meant to protect the fourth-generation fighters in contested battlespace—was shown to be “operationally effective” and “suitable,” the Pentagon's Director of Operational Test and Evaluation said.
